Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD) has announced a call for proposals for the Kenya Innovation Grants Program (Isiolo, Kwale and Nakuru).
ISD is seeking to fund three local civil society or grassroots organisations to carry out small but meaningful projects which support the implementation of some elements of the CAPs in PROACT counties (Isiolo, Kwale and Nakuru). ISD is particularly interested in funding promising and vibrant grassroots organisations who work directly with communities and have existing experience of partnerships with local government officials of their chosen county.
Objectives
The project must address one of the following objectives. The project must take place in one of the three eligible counties. ISD may consider proposals for P/CVE projects which do not meet the objectives; however, a strong preference will be given to projects which address one of the objectives.
